The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to face the Oakland Raiders without running back Doug Martin and defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, as expected. Both of them had been ruled out on Friday, and that did not change today.
The Bucs will, however, have Robert Ayers back, as the defensive end is not listed among the team’s inactive players for today’s game. The Bucs have had to miss their prize free agent signing since week three, and his absence has been noticeable on the defensive line. They’ll hope his return and that of Gerald McCoy last week can kickstart the pass rush in particular.
